According to Galatians 5:19-21, these 17 works of the flesh will keep you from inheriting the kingdom of God.

There comes a time in our life when we must search ourselves with the Word of God. As people of God, we should be doing this daily. We should constantly check in with ourselves to ensure that we are in line with the Word of God because when we walk in the Word of God, we will walk in the spirit and will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. The word ‘defile’ can be used interchangeably and there are at least five ways in which we can defile our body, as mentioned in the Old Testament. If we want to be clean, we should wash ourselves with the Word of God. It is the only thing we have today to clean us up. We should abide and apply the Word of God to our life.
